Ten prominent women from Huron-Bruce have been honoured for their contributions to agriculture and rural life.
Huron-Bruce MPP and Rural Affairs Minister Lisa Thompson recognized the group on Wednesday during Rural Ontario Week, coinciding with the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
The honourees are Tara Terpstra, Emily Morrison, Carol Leeming, Miranda Klaver, Margaret Vincent, Becky Maus, Kristie Gilchrist, Barb Zettler, Amanda Hammell, and Christine MacIntyre.
Thompson noted that while the roles of women on the farm continue to evolve, their resilience, leadership, and commitment to rural communities remain a constant foundation for Ontario's agricultural success.
